Abstract
The top five teams from the 2020-21 season league table virtually attended the IET Faraday Challenge Day National Final on Tuesday 13th July 2021 to compete for the season’s winning title and £1,000 for their school. This year’s challenge was in association with Network Rail and tasked teams to design and develop a prototype that would assist the work of Network Rail in helping them to sustainably manage the increasing numbers of passengers using their network and minimise their impact on the environment.
Sixty teacher-led events took place across the UK to host the 2020-21 IET Faraday Challenge Days. Up to six teams of year 8 school students competed at each event to find the best solution to the engineering-related challenge.
